Goa

Goa: easily the most popular holiday destination in India. And for good reason too. The gold and white sand beaches, coconut trees rising above your head, delicious seafood, a wonderful blend of Indians and foreigners, and the equally wonderful marketplaces make it the perfect vacation spot. Population wise, the state of Goa ranks 26th in India. It has only about 15 lakhs of natives residing in it. But the area spread of Goa is far less as compared to the population, thus making it a state of medium population density. Its population density is almost 400 according to Goa census 2011, in a small area of mere 3000 kilometer square. It's the smallest state in India. The Goan beaches and streets may seem crowded to you, but that's probably because of the extent of tourism in the state, since, the population growth rate of Goa is less than 10. The growth rate has drastically decreased since the previous census, which makes the state unique. The literacy rate however, is a different story. Literacy has increased in both genders, but the increment rate is low. Although, the number of female literates has increased satisfactorily.

Urbanization growth has been rapid in Goa; undoubtedly because of the tourism. And so, more than 60% population is urbanized in this state, while rest resides in rural area. In rural areas of Goa, the population growth rate is a problem, since its negative, which means the population is greatly decreasing. Gender ratio in rural areas, on the other hand shows a far more satisfactory picture. The ratio is close to the ideal, and most importantly better than that in urban areas. Major cities here are, Panji, Vasco De Gama and Ponda. And the official language spoken is Konkani, which is widely used in the seaside areas of the west.
